ARTBA
“After the rate caps expired for my utility on January 1, 2010, our electricity supply cost went up almost 20%. APPI energy had contacted us previously as an ARTBA member benefit, but not knowing how we would be affected by the rate caps expiring I wasn’t ready to make a switch. It didn’t take long of this new “Default Tariff Rate” to convince me otherwise. I contacted APPI Energy and within one month they were able to negotiate a much better rate and lock us into a fixed price contract for 24 months. The process is simple with no upfront costs or fees and the transition was seamless. I recommend all ARTBA members use APPI Energy as your energy expert.”

Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations
“APPI Energy’s member benefit helps Maryland Non Profit Organizations reduce and manage their energy expenses. As a Maryland Non-Profit Organization, I was contacted by APPI Energy to discuss this valuable service for our organization. APPI Energy helped me accomplish two critical goals that we had in 2009, 1) reduce our electricity costs and 2) include green energy in our total energy usage. I initially thought these two goals were unachievable, but the experts at APPI Energy delivered and exceeded my expectations. Because APPI Energy has such strength in the market, they were able to reduce my total energy costs and include green energy for our organization. I would recommend that every Maryland Non-Profit Member contact APPI Energy. ”

Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations
“MD Association of Non-Profit Organizations has always had reliable members benefits, so when MD was deregulating APPI Energy was a great fit. Providence Center has been working with APPI Energy since 2007, we are now on our third contract using APPI energy and the process couldn’t be easier. In our current electricity agreement the electric rate reduction should be substantial. Some of the other benefits that we are enjoying are the outstanding market intelligence and customer service that APPI Energy provides. Their expertise negotiated favorable supply contracts for all of our facilities. I would encourage any MD Association of Non-Profit member to contact APPI Energy today. ”

PMA Member
“When the Ohio electricity markets became competitive in the summer of 2009, we were contacted by APPI, the endorsed energy consultant with PMA, to determine if we could reduce our electricity expenses. APPI was able to negotiate a contract for ART Technologies for 28 months that reduced our electricity expenses by 42%. Effort on my part was minimal and required no upfront cost, as APPI took care of all the necessary paperwork and will continue to provide ongoing customer service to my account. I would recommend the APPI Powerful Solutions Program to all PMA members.”

PAA Member
“A couple of months before the PPL rate caps were to expire for electricity, we were inundated by several organizations, and APPI, the endorsed energy procurement company by the PAA. For weeks on end I was hounded by a direct supplier that insisted he could get me a better rate than the program brought to me through the PAA, because he was after all a direct supplier, not a consultant. This gentleman was relentless in his calls to me and finally I agreed for him to submit a price to me, in the mean time I had been working with APPI. With APPI I was part of the plan and solution, and they worked on my timetable and on my behalf. The best part was that APPI provided me with a much better price, than the “direct supplier”. The PAA programs have always proved invaluable to our organization and this one was no different. I recommend the APPI/PAA energy procurement plan to all PAA members. ”

NCA Member
“Our company was in the process of gathering information and preparing for rising electricity costs in our state when we learned about APPI and the Powerful Solutions Program, a member benefit available to us through the National Confectioners Association (NCA). With APPI’s guidance, we entered into a supply agreement which significantly mitigated the price increase we would have experienced had we stayed with our utility. I would recommend the APPI Powerful Solutions Program to all NCA members.”

MBA Member
“As we became aware of the significant savings which we might achieve in our electric cost we also quickly recognized that we had access to an excellent energy consultant. Not only was APPI endorsed by the Maryland Bankers Association as its exclusive energy consultant, it was also endorsed locally by the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce. APPI took care of everything from collecting our use, gathering bids from various electricity suppliers and explaining the price and contract differences in understandable language. We were able to lock in a very affordable rate for 36 months.”

TADA Member
“Karl Klements Properties, Inc. jumped on this program at the very beginning. We signed 47 of our TXU accounts and are projected to save 36% on our electricity costs. That's over $65,000 added to the bottom line. I was so pleased with the service I received from APPI and how the overall program worked that I have already begun to refer other businesses to APPI. There are no up-front costs or obligations so the only thing you have to lose is the money that's lying on the table.”

ASAE Member
“With the help of my APPI consultant, I was able to take advantage of today’s bearish energy markets and secure a low electricity rate for my facility. I believe that energy costs will be rising over the next few years as we emerge from the recession, which is why I signed a 35 month contract with a competitive electricity supplier. Effort on my part was minimal, as APPI took care of all the necessary paperwork and will continue to provide ongoing customer service to my account. I would recommend the APPI Powerful Solutions Program to all ASAE members.”
Stan Holak, President
Drilex CorpHouston, TX
NTMA Member
“I was wary of deregulation and unsure whether or not the savings were real. After talking with other NTMA members and the APPI team, I was able to sign a contract that saved us approximately 23% on our electricity. The process was simple and three years later I am still an APPI customer. I would highly recommend APPI’s services to all NTMA members.”

NTMA Member
“APPI helped make the deregulation process so much easier for us at Manda Machine Co., Inc. While we concentrated on our jobs, they concentrated on managing our electricity. All I had to do was send in our usage history. After that, they shopped for a supplier, made the best selection, and clearly presented the offer and contract to me. Now I'm on my way to saving money this year for our electricity. Thanks APPI for making this process so easy.”
Jon Matthews, CEO
Southland Federal Credit UnionLufkin, TX
TCUL Member
“I was recommended to APPI's Savings Solution Program through the Texas Credit Union League. I was contacted by a consultant the same day I put in my request for more information. The process was quick and effortless. Within one business week of signing up for the program, I entered into an agreement with one of the many retail electricity suppliers APPI does business with. The new price I will be paying is significantly less than what I was paying with my utility. I recommend APPI to all TCUL members so they can experience the same cost savings benefits I have.”

Hale House Center, Inc.New York City, NY
ASAE Member
“Working with APPI was a simple and seamless process. We received multiple electricity quotes from our Utility Consultant and she’d recommended on several occasions that we stay with our utility as market conditions were not favorable. She pledged to contact us again once there was an opportunity to enter the competitive market. As promised, we were contacted immediately and a lower rate was negotiated on our behalf. I would absolutely recommend APPI to other ASAE members.”
Bill Wolters, President
Texas Automobile Dealers AssociationAustin, TX
“One of the cornerstones of our endorsement of APPI is their record for dependability, quality of service and strength in the marketplace. One of the reasons I wanted APPI to be TADA's preferred vendor was because I knew that they not only would serve the members at the highest level, but they would endure through the vagaries of the ever-changing environment of the market. ”

NAM Member
““We have been working with APPI for almost two years through the NAM Pilot Energy Procurement Program. APPI was able to lock us into a fixed rate that allowed us to create budget certainty in our operation. We were previously in an agreement that fluctuated month to month, which caused real issue for budget purposes. The process was simple and the transition seamless, and now with a fixed price we have not only a great rate, but also budget certainty. I recommend all NAM members use APPI to save money and create budget certainty in these uncertain times.””

““I first became aware of APPI through the Pennsylvania Bankers Association (PBA), as APPI is its endorsed energy program. We are very active with the PBA and have been very pleased with any services that PBASC has offered to the members, and this program was no different. There is no upfront cost to use this program and the opportunity to mitigate pending electricity increases in PA and create budget certainty were substantial for our bank. APPI made this process seamless and will continue to monitor the market and present opportunities in the future. Right now the PA electricity market is very competitive and APPI will work on your behalf to get you the best price, I would recommend this service to any PBA member."”

“Before joining Rotz and Stonesifer I worked in Hagerstown Maryland and recall what happened when Maryland was becoming deregulated.

I recommend that all chamber members get educated through APPI and begin your electricity procurement ”
